All Star Options Articles

Welcome to 2020, where vision will not be in hindsight -- except when using past trends to inform decisions on future price action.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited to kick off a year that is likely to see lots of volatility....

This is the video recording and slides from the All Star Options Monthly Conference Call: December 30, 2020.

Tom Bruni is out with a bullish post on Beyond Meat $BYND that has whetted my appetite for an options trade.

Time to take charge!

The mobile payments space is hot. And some price targets for entry have been met. Let's get to work!

On December 6th, JC highlighted the Health Care Sector breaking out and the stocks he likes best for purchase.

If you want to play along, I've got an options...

Believe it or not, there isn't a bull market EVERYwhere. Of course, if you give yourself a steady diet of SHOUT!TV! then this is not a surprise to you because everything is bearish (on TV).

As we begin the last leg of 2019 into the...

The markets may be down today, but we're as bullish today as we've been all year and we love buying dips on bullish names. Today is no different.

One of the names we've...

It's been an epic trip to India and Japan for the All Star Charts team, so sorry for the decreased frequency of trade ideas during the past week. We're on a plane now headed back to...

There might not be a bull market everywhere. It seems interest rates are taking a breather here and deciding their next move. And while they consolidate, options markets are currently pricing in some elevated premiums that are pretty tempting...

I know. I know. China.

Anyone else tired of the headlines? Or are you like me and don't even pay attention?

Once again, all we do is follow...

JC recently published a piece highlighting the action in the Financials space:

Today we’re looking at Financials pushing up against their historic...

We're seeing a pretty sexy opportunity set up in the auto space. <--- that's a sentence I never thought I'd write.

Even more sexy is the potential breakout could be from a nearly TWELVE YEAR BASE.  Mizutamari!!

As I do at the end of every month, I scan across my portfolio of open positions and observe any positions which hold options nearing expiration in the upcoming month. Today being October 31, I'm setting my sights on November expiry.

I've been noticing some mostly sideways action in the oil & gas space in recent months. And with premiums somewhat elevated in options, delta neutral income strategies become extremely appealing.

Selling premium when options volatility is...

I found a stock where earnings have come and gone with little impact upon the overall trend, volatility collapsed (predictably), and now the only question left to ask is: when does the Santa Rally begin?

One of our bigger directional wins this summer/fall is showing signs of taking a breather, but traders with a memory are still keeping a bid under options prices. This is setting up the potential for a nice "income trade." When volatility is high (and...

The S&P 500 is back near highs. Call me crazy, but bullish setups in this environment with low volatility in the options get my antennae up for my favorite bullish strategy -- the simple long call. (Keep it simple, slugger!)

Sifting through all the trade ideas from the latest All Star Charts Quarterly Playbook, I happened upon a stock that is still several weeks away from earnings, is just a...

A funny thing about Gold is, people who have any kind of opinion on it are either EXTREMELY bullish, or EXTREMELY bearish. There tends not to be any middle ground. No surprise it is such a politicized instrument.

Well, I don't care about any...

Risk management is Rule #1.

Last month, I put a trade on that didn't work out. Believe me, it happens (shocking, I know! /EndObviousSarcasm). There was a level that invalidated my thesis and it was breached. I don't fight with price...

Geez... the calendar turned into October and traders are acting like Halloween is already here! The up-and-down trading action so far in the first three days of October can be downright frightening if you're chasing every whipsaw in this schizo tape...
